Education is highly valued in Kalpeni, contributing to Lakshadweep's impressive overall literacy rates. The island hosts several educational institutions managed by the Union Territory administration.
* **Government Senior Secondary School, Kalpeni:** The primary institution providing higher secondary education to local students. * **Primary and Middle Schools:** Several local government schools distribute early education across the island's wards. * **Madrasas:** Provide traditional Islamic education alongside secular schooling. * **Higher Education:** While basic education is well-covered, there are no full-scale degree colleges or universities on Kalpeni. Students pursuing higher education typically migrate to mainland educational hubs in Kerala, such as Kochi, Kozhikode, or Thiruvananthapuram, often supported by government scholarships and reserved seats.
